Paid submissions? Let’s talk We need to be honest about what’s happening to bug bounty right now We live in AI era, where submission volume is growing fast, but signal is not A lot of reports getting lost, delayed, or stuck in review loops And this hurts everyone - especially professional whitehats with real findings Over the last months, we’ve been trying to fix this step by step Reputation points system was first you submit spam → you get penalty points → you lose ability to submit simple incentive on quality Then - MCP Which helps teams triage faster, identify duplicates, reduce review time. Many companies already using it. And now we are introducing a new option - submission fees. We’ve been hearing this request from many companies and honestly, it feels like a next logical step to make the game more fair for everyone. This is optional, not default, and not something every company will enable. Fees going to be small ($1-$5), so this is not about monetization too This is about adding a bit of friction, so people think twice before submitting something they are not confident in Because today, there is almost no downside to spam. With $20 subscription, any user can generate thousands of reports even without understanding of them. At the same time, we fully understand concerns, whitehats are our biggest asset and we still want new researchers to join the space, so we added: • free credits for new users (via coupons) • support for high-signal researchers Goal is very simple - improve signal without losing important reports I will keep you in a loop once any of HackenProof clients will enable it Lets fix bug bounty together

It's crazy how often this happens
